Black Label Martial Arts is the best for so many reasons! Our oldest daughter started Jiujitsu earlier this year here and it instantly turned into a passion. She has made so many friends, we have as well, and now everyone feels like family. In just 6 months our 5 year old daughter has learned SO much. She has competed in a tournament, brought home two medals, ranked up in belts, has learned a ton and continues to do so every time she walks into Black Label. She is going so far with this already because of this gym! The coaches are phenomenal and go the extra effort to teach thoroughly. They treat everyone the same, no matter their belt, age, skill level, etc., everyone is treated like family and they put effort into every single person! We are beyond thankful to have found this gym and can’t wait for our youngest daughter to be old enough to roll on the mat! Thanks for everything Black Label, we love being apart of the family and are so excited for what the future holds! Sign your kids or yourself up! You won’t regret it!!

One of the most welcoming gyms I’ve ever walked in . Was in town from Boston and it felt like I had been there for years . The owner was a legit blackbelt and proud of his lineage. Couldn’t recommend this gym more . I’ll be making it my gym while I’m in Charleston again. Thank you so much guys

Jiu jitsu and the black label team have had such a positive influence on my daughter! Her confidence has grown tremendously, she’s learned valuable life lessons and she enjoys every second of it!

Bringing my kids to Black Label is one of the best decisions we have made. They have grown so much more than just their skills alone. They have gained so much confidence since we have joined. When we started one of my kids would even hide behind his siblings. That same child today, you would never know struggled with his confidence, thanks to Black Label! Malachy is an incredible Coach and has encouraged all of our kids in different ways to push themselves, be confident, respectful and work hard. All of the coaches are fantastic! We couldn't be happier!

We are truly blessed to have found Black Label two years ago. Our daughter lacked confidence and it’s amazing how much she has grown since joining. The coaches are dedicated to each child’s journey and they go out of their way to ensure that every child knows they are supported. Professor Malachy has developed an outstanding youth BJJ program and I would recommend this martial arts school to anyone.

Glad I found the outlet I did with America’s Top Team Charleston, South Carolina after I retired from the military.
Also very thankful and happy with the two primary instructors who work with me when I’m not grasping things quickly due to multiple challenges I have from exposures in combat.
A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with neuro cognitive disorder, memory loss and other things directly related to injuries and the 11 combat deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq that I’ve done. My lack of sleep and quick temper were also challenges for me.
I’m now 3 months into attending classes at ATT Charleston and I continue to thank the owner of this location and two coaches I work with for the services and instruction they all provide.
Not only am I learning a new skill and revisiting some old ones, keeping healthy, building comradity along with honing a martial art that I always wanted to do better in, both my wife and I can see quality of life improvements and an outlet for the challenges I’ve stated above - which is the most important thing.
I can’t thank Malachy, Charleston and Clay enough for their services and instruction. I highly recommend this martial art for other combat veterans and this location for any combat veteran residing in the local Charleston area.
Please feel free to contact me direct if you have any further questions, comments of concerns or wish to discuss any lessons learned I could pass to others to help their Jiu Jitsu journey.
Respectfully,
Dan

If your looking for a professional, knowledgeable, clean, focused place for you or your child to learn bjj then I couldn't recommend this place more. I have two children who learn here. The environment is that of any top level gym and the staff is knowledgeable and focused on you or your child learning not only a martial art but lessons they can carry everyday to make them stronger and better people

It can be pretty intimidating when you first walk in, but you are instantly greeted by friendly faces from both coaches and other students. I'm fairly new to BJJ and thought for sure in a big gym like Black Label Martial Arts I would fade into the background. That couldn't be further from the truth! Malachy takes the time to get to know all of his students and offers individualized instruction during classes. He's also kind of funny sometimes! Absolutely love this gym! Can't imagine training anywhere else!

I just started training here about two or three months ago. I travel full-time and have trained BJJ all over the world. There are a hand-full of places on the planet that make you feel like a member of the family from the moment you walk in. Black Label Martial Arts is one of them! The BJJ here is top-notch and they have training 6 days a week, multiple classes. They have a great group of folks there, especially the owners Malachy and Sarah! I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone to train here! Oss!

My oldest son just started his boxing journey and I am thrilled we chose Black Label Martial Arts. Coach Isaac is amazing and everyone in the classes are super supportive. I can’t wait to see the growth in my son! If you’re looking for quality classes, you won’t be disappointed!
